Redbox and NCR are among the largest U.S. operators of DVD-rental kiosks, which rent movies for about $1 a day and, according to Adams Media Research, are the fastest-growing distributors of movie rentals. Kiosk rental sales are expected to rise 42% to $1.3 billion this year, Adams says, stepping up competition with Netflix, iTunes and rental stores, such as Blockbuster Entertainment. Before the limits, Redbox got about 40% of its new DVDs from retailers, Adams estimates.
